“STEAL THIS MOVIE (2000) **1/2 Vincent Du0026#39;Onofrio, Janeane Garofalo, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Kevin Pollak, Donal Logue, Kevin Corrigan, Alan Van Sprang, Troy Garity, Ingrid Veninger, Stephen Marshall, Joyce Gordon, Bernard Kay. The life and times of 1960s radical Yippie political rabble rouser Abbie Hoffman (Du0026#39;Onofrio, although physically miscast, gives a decent turn) is depicted in this melange in his turbulent life with his wife Anita (Garofalo seemingly too low-keyed) which intersperses real-life newsreel archival footage with at times jarring restaged moments that donu0026#39;t juxtopose neatly. Based on the couplesu0026#39; book u0026#39;To America With Love: Letters From the Undergroundu0026#39; and Marty Jezeru0026#39;s biography, u0026#39;Abbie Hoffman: American Rebelu0026#39;, the results are sketchy and one doesnu0026#39;t get a full realization of the secondary characters except for the infamous Chicago 7 trial in 1968 at The Democratic Convention. One wonders what Oliver Stone would have done with such meaty subject matter. (Dir: Robert Greenwald)”
